When I enrolled in library school three years ago, I immediately
joined ALA at the student rate and signed up for sections and round tables based on their descriptions. I’m interested in IT, so joining LITA seemed like a no-brainer. And then, a couple of months later, I visited the LITA website for the first time. I know this sounds melodramatic, but I was aghast. I couldn’t believe the technology section’s website looked so dated or that its information could be so stale. I immediately asked ALA for my money back and used it to join ASIS&T.

This year, I went ahead and rejoined LITA because I like what I’ve
been reading and hearing from its leaders and I wanted to give it
another chance. But the website still looks the same as it did when I
asked for my money back three years ago. The home page still resolves to http://www.lita.org/ala/mgrps/divs/lita/litahome.cfm — I mean, ColdFusion?! Really? And many links appear to be at least as dated as they were back then. For instance, visit the second link in the menu, Resources & Services
(http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/lita/litaresources/litaresources.cfm) and start poking around. I’d say 5-10 years is pretty accurate.
